Is the reuse percentage calculated by weight?

421 questions from 58 articles available in English.

No. Article 30 of Regulation (EU) 2025/40 requires equivalent packaging units to be counted per calendar year, rather than tonnes: a pallet counts as a pallet, heavy or light, and a target expressed as a percentage of weight does not match the text. Calculation is target by target, meaning flow by flow: deliveries to another company in the same country and movements between your sites or with linked companies (100%); other flows, including deliveries to other Union countries (40%). A Commission implementing act will set the detailed methodology by 30 June 2027 at the latest.
